In my humble opinion i think that the best man for PN gen.sec.is JOHN ZAMMIT,ex editor and presently head of programmes for net tv/radio.

@Chris S and amrio. Hopefully we will be pleasantly surprised with the P.N.’s choice. Just strange that Busuttil should have turned down the post after the pivotal role he played in getting the P.N. reelected to power in 2008.

@Xaghra. I can’t answer your question I wasn’t watching the counting, I would much rather count sheep! I didn’t realize that life in Gozo was that boring that you were riveted to your screen watching Super One T.V. as the tedious counting process went on. You poor thing!

The delegates have spoken……but not the people. Shame.

@Uncle Fester

Oh so now I gettit! The PN should appoint a dimwit, phoney to the post of General Secretary to ‘level the playing field’ and give the MLP a chance at governing the country! I love the inferiority complex ……

A question for you Uncle, as I am riveted to Super Once watching the incompetence of the MLP during the vote tallying process (does it have to take that loooooooong!). Do the rubber stamps on each of the ballot papers for the Mexxej represent each of the factions within the MLP?

I’m just curious – yawwwwwwwwwn!

@ Amanda… er… Mrs Mallia – must admit that was a good comment – had a good laugh. The whole spectacle is hilarious actually. It’s a real case of “kemm Alla gabna sew!”

@Uncle Fester – Joe Saliba was just the University Precint’s Officer before he took the post of Sec. General – HE had also unsuccessfully contested under the PN banner in 1996 (if I am not mistaken).

Even Austin Gatt was an unknown entity back in the early eighties.

So please be patient – you shall see that the highly organised PN shall have a worthy Sec General in a few weeks time – quietly but surely.
